"Refreshingly honest, officer." She nods. "The company has tried appeasing in the past, but I'm afraid our concessions have only emboldened Evrart and his brother." She turns to you:
"And your opinion, detective? If I may ask. I'm a curious and talkative person you see," she explains." Would you say the Débardeurs' Union is..."
